The NHL has put a lot of work into revamping the ASG - will it actually get people to watch?
The NHL All-Star Game is going to be different this year. For the first time ever, we'll see a 3-on-3 format, with each division entering a team. It's supposed to increase the entertainment value of the game. The $1-million prize is supposed to get players to actually try hard after years of them going through the motions for three periods.
One problem is that the NHL has tried revamping the game many times in recent history, and I'm growing a little cynical.
